Please contact Governor John Carney and urge him to veto assisted suicide Bill HB 140. Email him at: john.carney@delaware.gov

Carney has 10 days to decide to sign or veto the bill. The bill passed on June 25.

In a roller coaster ride of votes, the Delaware Senate passed assisted suicide Bill HB 140 on June 25 by an 11 to 10 vote during a second vote on the bill.

On June 20 we reported that the Delaware Senate defeated the assisted suicide Bill HB 140 by a 9 to 9 vote. I thanked the many Delaware citizens who worked to defeat the bill.

In a 2022 interview, Delaware Governor John Carney stated that he opposed assisted suicide. He stated:

“Ultimately, though, I believe enabling physicians to facilitate suicide crosses a boundary that I’m just not comfortable crossing.”

Eleven Delaware Senators voted to legalize assisted suicide after an assisted suicide lobby leader lied to them three times during the Senate hearing.
